MOA: Osmosis caused by salt anions and cations draws water into the gut lumen resulting in increased intraluminal pressure---leads to increased peristalsis

MOA: Osmosis caused by salt anions and cations draws water into the gut lumen resulting in increased intraluminal pressure---leads to increased peristalsis

MOA: increased propulsive peristaltic activity by local irritation of the mucosa or selective action on the intramural nerve plexus of the smooth muscle in either/both the small and large intestine
